# Event Details

- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 20 Aug, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: So, your dog wants to be a therapy dog? This 6-week course is exactly what you need! Led by Deb, a seasoned therapy dog handler since the mid-1990s with over two decades of experience directing a major therapy dog certification and training program.

This course prepares both dogs and handlers not only for certification but also to excel as a therapy team. Whether you’re working toward certification or are already an active therapy team looking to sharpen skills or learn new ones, this course has you covered. You’ll master essential skills like healing and polite greetings, gain tools for safe and effective teamwork, and learn to read your dog’s body language, ensuring you can meet their needs while building a strong, rewarding partnership.

Prerequisites: Instructor approval or prior participation in a Gold Star class. This course does not result in therapy dog certification, nor does it guarantee certification. Dogs must have a solid grasp of basic obedience and be free of aggression/reactivity towards people or other dogs.
